Not a bad day really. We had lunch early and then went to the bowling alley. Lots of hugs and nice to see yous etc. Plus Happy Birthday to Matt who told everybody who approached him!!! We bowled two games, both of us limping a bit. Didn't bowl well of course, but for a first time in 4 months, we didn't do too badly. The first game we both got the same score, the second one I beat him by 5 or 6 I think.
Came home and the young man arrived eventually to fix up the TV. The DVD player works perfectly now. He says I have to switch the wiring to play the VCR, but I don't know if that is true. I am going to try it out. I have been given another VCR player by the way, by the younger owner of the bowling alley. Ours was kaput. Nice of him.
Afterwards we went to the Red Lobster. It was chucking it down, didn't know it was supposed to do that. I had trouble seeing the white road marks in the newer part of the road they built last year. Bit dangerous that. They faded out with the lights and the glistening rainwater.
I tried a new dish, Bar Harbour Lobster Bake, Split-roasted petite Maritime lobster tails with shrimp, bay scallops and mussels, piled over a bed of linguini in a garlic and white wine broth. It was very good, I enjoyed it. 3 lobster tails by the way, and heaps of scallops. Matt had his free dessert which looked absolutely delicious, Brownie Overboard it was called and had brownie, ice cream and whipped cream. I asked where their ice cream was made - a company named Central Smith, odd name. I must check them out.
Sorry, somewhat late in the evening so no recipe tonight.
Have a great day

I hate to drive in pouring rain. I can't see the lines either and it makes me nervous. C
ReplyDeleteI got the brownie overload last time I ate at Red Lobster too! At least I think that's what it was called. It was delicious. Well worth the day's worth of calories I likely consumed.
Made me nervous Liz, it's difficult trying to see everything.
DeleteLess calories than the Chocolate Wave Cake which I ate.
Hi Jo - so pleased you both had a happy day and were able to get to bowl. Glad the tv and VCR are sorted out. The lobster dish looks positively delicious even at this hour in the morning! My taste buds are watering ... I'm just glad Matt enjoyed his brownie - which looks birthdayly good - cheers and have a good week - Hilary
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilary. Yes, the lobster dish was delicious and I will probably try it again some time. He really enjoyed it, something I will have to try next time.
DeleteI haven't been to Red Lobster since my boys were young. Lobster fest commercials always tempt me.
ReplyDeleteYou should go Denise, they put on a good meal.
DeleteI would eat a brownie overboard!
ReplyDeleteGlad Matt had a good birthday and you got to bowl again.
You would enjoy it Alex, Matt did.
DeleteTrouble is I got cramps during the night from bowling!!
Happy belated birthday to Matt! Seemed like an enjoyable day with bowling and eating out, except for the rain. We went to Red Lobster the other day and they changed up their menu a bit, for the better in my opinion. Like I mentioned before, I always get one of their fresh fresh, a side salad, and then get for my 2 sides a double order of broccoli, which was their "old" menu. This time they had what they called "harvested grilled vegetables". I got them and was pleasantly surprised to see they were Brussell sprouts and butternut squash. They were very delicious!

Thanks Betty. I don't really understand, are you saying you ate nothing but vegetables? Or do you have different dishes in your part of the world?
DeleteIf I still ate seafood, I'd be all over that lobster bake.
ReplyDeleteThat's nice to hear you both got out for bowling finally.
Well I'm glad I eat seafood, it was delicious. It was fun bowling if a bit painful.
